Horizon Wind settlement ratified

Thunder Bay City Council has ratified the Horizon Wind settlement. Councillor Joe Virdiramo caused a bit of confusion last week as to which way he voted and took the time this week to clarify how he was voting and why. Virdiramo didn't put up his hand at last week's meeting meaning he voted against the settlement. Virdiramo says it would be irresponsible to open the city up to such a pricey lawsuit. Meanwhile, Norwester Escarpment Protection Committee Spokesperson Mike Payne says they're ready to take their fight to the provincial level. The final vote was 8 to 4.
